Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut the zucchini into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Drizzle zucchini with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and black pepper.

Use a rubber spatula to toss zucchini until evenly coated in oil and seasonings. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the zucchini.

Roast the zucchini on middle rack of oven, flipping slices halfway through cook time, until it is fork tender and golden brown, 18-22 minutes.

Check to see that zucchini is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Slice Zucchini Uniformly 🔪
Cut zucchini into even ¼-inch rounds to ensure uniform cooking and prevent some pieces from becoming mushy while others remain undercooked.
Pat Dry Before Baking 💧
Thoroughly dry zucchini slices with paper towels after slicing to remove excess moisture, which prevents steaming and allows the edges to crisp and brown beautifully.
Grate Parmesan Fresh 🧀
Use a microplane or box grater to grate Parmigiano-Reggiano directly over the zucchini just before baking for superior flavor and better adhesion compared to pre-grated cheese.
Pre-Heat Baking Sheet 🛢️
Place your baking sheet in the oven while preheating, then carefully arrange zucchini on the hot surface to create immediate browning and golden, crispy bottoms.
Season Between Layers ✨
Drizzle olive oil and season with salt and pepper between layers of zucchini slices to ensure every piece is seasoned evenly, not just the top.
